Hi there,

Just wondering if anyone's had this problem, its probably something very simple but having spent all day on and off looking for the answer, i'm having to ask for help!

Basically, i had to move the website from one folder to another and now the upload images section isn't working. it allows me to upload the images but they're not there:
http://www.earthspa.co.uk/guidelinesPage.php

I tried changing the path in admin and checked the settings.dat file and the path appears to be correct but still no images...i'm at a loss...any ideas anyone? Something that may help...

Program Directory: /data01/merlin/public_html/earthspa.co.uk/dotrixcms/cmsAdmin

Upload Directory: /data01/merlin/public_html/earthspa.co.uk/dotrixcms/cmsAdmin/uploads/

Upload Folder URL: /data01/merlin/public_html/earthspa.co.uk/dotrixcms/cmsAdmin/uploads/

Thanks,

Nikki.

Hi Nikki,

The upload folder url should be something more like this:
/dotrixcms/cmsAdmin/uploads/

Make sure you've copied all the uploads over from the production server and see if you can figure out the direct url.

For example this page http://www.earthspa.co.uk/guidelinesPage.php has a link to http://www.earthspa.co.uk/data01/merlin/earthspa.co.uk/dotrixcms/cmsAdmin/uploads/thumb/feet.jpg which isn't the right url. But I can't find feet.jpg here either: http://www.earthspa.co.uk/dotrixcms/cmsAdmin/uploads/

So you'll want to make sure that file got uploaded or where it is.

Let me know if that helps point you in the right direction or if you still need more help.
